Gremlin
is a very curious critter. If I open his door, Gremlin always
awakens and runs to check what has happened. Usually he sleeps all
day and awake about 7:00 PM. But, if something happening, he is ready
to play anytime. Gremlin knows his name and usually responds when
called. He likes to run around you and jump all over. Gremlin can jump
up to 50 cm (1.5 ft). He never bites me despite the fact that he has
very sharp teeth. Chinchillas are animals completely without odor.
That makes them great as house pets. They are a bit noisy at night,
but not too often. Gremlin (and probably I) live in Riga, capital of
Latvia.
